"I'm really excited," she said of being seeded fourth. "It's been a great season. I'm hoping to do the best I can and go out doing well."

Coach Ryan Balaz was glad Coffman received some recognition during the sectional draw.

"Going in, I didn't expect that," he said of Coffman's No. 4 seed. "But that's how things fell for us. She's playing her best tennis at the end of this year, so she's got a nice shot (to qualify for district)."

Coffman will face the winner of a play-in match between Mount Vernon's Madison Powers and Newark's Emily Mettille in the first round.

"I'm hoping to go out there and have no regrets," she said. "It's my senior year and I want to have fun. I want to win, obviously. But I want to do my best and be happy with how I did."

In doubles, senior Emily Balaz and junior Blake Stenger have a first-round bye and will play Westerville North's Miranda Goddard and Abby Englehart or Independence's Aissatou Bah and Jayla Washington in the second round and seniors Brittany Kizer and Cecily Nelson will face Watterson's Hannah Williams and Caroline Wong in the first round.

"I was a little disappointed we didn't play better in the conference," Workman said. "We played pretty well outside the conference. We just didn't preform in the OCC like I thought we would. That's something we need to work on for next year."

Big Walnut went 15-13 in the league last year, also placing fifth.

"In the OCC, we didn't quite meet expectations," senior T.J. Cowans said. "But there's still some of the season left, so we're hoping we can pull it back together."

"I don't think we played to our potential (in the league)," Gose said. "It was kind of a letdown in the OCCs."

Gose and Cowans averaged 82.8 and 83.8 strokes, respectively, over the four rounds of the OCC-Capital tournament to make third-team all-league. Sophomore Ryan Cunningham (86.3) was honorable mention all-league.

Football team to face Yellow Jackets

The football team will play host to Mount Vernon in an OCC-Capital contest Friday, Oct. 5.

The Golden Eagles were 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the league before playing Watkins Memorial on Sept. 28. Mount Vernon was 4-1 and 2-0 before playing Orange on Sept. 28.

Last season, Big Walnut defeated the Yellow Jackets 42-0.

The Golden Eagles followed up a 40-24 loss to Olentangy in their OCC-Capital opener Sept. 14 with a 35-13 win over Delaware on Sept. 22 in a league game that was suspended Sept. 21 because of lightning.

Senior quarterback Carson Chatterton carried the ball nine times for 13 yards and touchdown and was 5-for-10 passing for 61 yards and a score.

Sophomore running back Christian Johnson rushed for 241 yards and two touchdowns on 23 attempts.

The Golden Eagles led 21-13 at halftime and scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.
